You'd be better off and more thrifty in Garner or Clayton...

There are too many yankees or jerks like g5jamz in Raleigh...

(I'm in Clayton btw)

Oh Christ no....

If you want a night like go live in downtown Raleigh. Or go live up off Glenwood near 540.

Those outside towns will make you want to kill yourself

I would honestly start looking at Garner... It is basically South Raleigh, and if you get somewhere near White Oak, you are right at 40...

North Raleigh is probably going to be out of your price range unless it is a bad neighborhood, and the traffic there is hell (Capital Blvd., 540, etc.)...

Downtown would be out of the question for that price range if you are looking to stay in a decent neighborhood...

Boo to Garner.

Go with the Cary area. I don't know where you live now- if it is Charlotte, be prepared for a major disappointment with the downtown in Raleigh.

As far as places to avoid- you know them when you see them. One joke I was told a few months ago that I think rings particularly true:

What is the bad part of Raleigh?

Durham.

Avoid Durham like the plague. Even if you live in the "nicer" parts of Durham, the trash from the rest of Durham will still find its way into your life.

I live in Garner...but it's an easy commute to downtown. Unfortunately I work in RTP and in the Piedmont area...

Avoid Shaw University area.

Avoid around Garner High, Gorman Road, and some parts in southeast Raleigh. There are some newer apartment complexes off of Tryon road (runs parallel to I-40 on the southern I440 segment). Being in downtown, you'll be competing with NC State students trying to get good deals in that price range. My answer...avoid.

Over off of Blue Ridge/Rex Hospital area...close to Olde Raleigh, there are some apartment complexes that are in walking distance to shopping...quick commute downtown...near the RBC center/fairgrounds for events and just outside the immediate NC State area. Typically a lot of yuppies...but still very safe to feel like you can walk around. I have absolutely NO clue on costs.

North Raleigh is pricier. As someone mentioned...avoid Capital Blvd/Mini-city area too.

There are some awesome bar districts in downtown Raleigh...I just don't think your price range will get you anything much, but it's worth looking at. Areas around Cameron Village might work...or the creamery district (bars/restaurants). Avoid east of Wilmington St.

Cary is pricey....and too many damned yankees. Downtown Raleigh is quite nice nowadays...a lot has changed.

Garner is a rent district area...but you can find a couple of decent areas. I'm technically in Raleigh...by address, but really close to Garner. More towards Fuquay area.

As as far as Durham is concerned...NO.

He about got it right. Raleigh is a really nice city with a few bad spots. Durham is a really bad city with a few nice spots.

      Bryce Young is a problem — what would you do if you were Dan Morgan?

      By Jon Snow · Posted

      I do not think they will pick up his option as it stands right now. If he's benched again he will have to compete for a backup role if he's not traded before he reaches the end of his rookie contract.

      Your right. This wasn't meant to be a dig at Shenault. LOL

      I mean, Bryce Young is literally in an offense that is constructed to be about the deep ball.    He just is bad at it and it goes against he how naturally plays/skill set.   It's also why his completion % is garbage every year and why he leads the NFL in bad throw % since arriving.  He doesn't fit the O scheme and what it asks.  The offensive scheme requires it.   It would be like putting rookie Cam in some small ball O and saying the stats back he likes doing that.  It would have gone against everything he was at that time.  It was his worst ball.  But Bryce Young doesn't like it nor is he good at it.   No one that watches Bryce Young play football would actually say he wants to go downfield with the ball and that his thing.....that some deep stat narrative that gets pushed.  It's why he went 0-4 on basically easy deep shots Sunday.  Big time throws can be a 5 yards slant.  It's bologna.  And PFF would award Bryce  as the best deep passer going 1/4 over some dude chucking it for multiple scores.
